The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

The deadline is sometime on the 26th. Since Gandwarf is running this it might be like noon his time (Netherlands). It could be midnight, too, so I'd try to get as much done as you can by tomorrow night and leave minor things to update along the way on the 26th. Looks pretty good though

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

It will be midnight for sure... I am away from my keyboard most of the day
It might even be the morning of the 27th... which technically is the 26th for the US. Yes, I think I will definitely close down on the 27th, so you American continentals can work at least part of the evening of the 26th on it

these are mountains. the clouds I was referancing is the little corner in the first sketch, I'm making a border of them to go around what you see above.

it is done in water color, but to set the black border lines for all the small details required darker then pencil. So inking the fine lines was what I was referring to. Part of my annoyance was having to give up on my fine tip pens for a stupid Bic to get the ink to go down.

though the line was too wide and I think ruined the torri gate in my opiion and the lines look a bit too sketchy for my liking.
